Filipe Luis hopes to renew Atletico Madrid contract

Filipe Luis has said that his "priority is to renew" his contract with Atletico Madrid, amid reports from Spain that he has been targeted by Barcelona.

The 33-year-old, who is into the final two months of his existing deal with Los Rojiblancos, is said to be one of three left-backs being lined up by Barca ahead of the summer transfer window.

Luis would like to stay on at the Wanda Metropolitano, but Atletico's reluctance to offer long-term contracts to players over 30 could force him out of the club.

Asked about his plans beyond the end of 2018-19, Luis told Globo Esporte: "My priority is to renew with Atleti. But I do not close doors. I have no offer, but the heart will decide"

Luis, who has featured 24 times for Atletico in all competitions this term, is also wanted by Brazilian club Flamengo.
